Kerri + Matt
- Posted on:
- 11 November 2011
I was introduced to Kerri through an old photographer friend of mine—we both had photos in my first show at a little gallery in Bucktown several years ago—and now, several years later, I am so excited to have met such a wonderful couple via that connection! We could not have had better weather for this shoot—what a dream. Kerri was worried her pink dress would clash with all the colours, but it was the perfect choice—popping against the vibrant greens and golds we had in October. And these two were so easy to shoot—what a gorgeous couple, and I just cannot get enough of Kerri’s beautiful smile. So authentic and lovely. I cannot wait for their wedding next spring at one of my favourite venues, The Rookery.

John Mark + Mary Kay :: Chicago Engagement Session
- Posted on:
- 11 October 2011
It has been such a busy summer/fall for me that the blog has been a little neglected! I’m doing my best to post as many shoots from the summer/fall (quite a lot!) that I can before the season ends, which means a little taste of a still very summery session even in the midst of the very fall weather we’re experiecing here in Chicago! John Mark, Mary Kay, and I spent a delightful evening together in August, creating some beautiful images and just spending time together. John Mark and Mary Kay have a stunning home on the north side, where we spent some time talking about them, sharing a bottle of wine from the vineyard where they were engaged in the Willamette Valley, being treated to John Mark’s incredible piano skills with some Smashing Pumpkins, and even enjoying dinner at one of their favorite local spots. I had such a marvelous time with these two, and we could not have had nicer weather for their shoot, which we did around their home and at the lake. I cannot wait for what is sure to be an incredible wedding full of great style and incredible food and wine—a New Year’s bash at Saint Michael’s and the Elysian.

Erica + Tom
- Posted on:
- 13 September 2011
Erica and Tom are a great couple who are having a winter wedding at one of my favourite venues, the Modern Wing. They recently purchased a new home just a few blocks away from me (of course we have already run into each other at my favourite wine bar!), so for their shoot we decided to explore their neighborhood a bit. Despite being only a few blocks from me, their home is nestled in a very quiet and unique area that I had never really spent time in. We found so many great little nooks and crannies that made for fantastic photos. We also went over to the water at the end of the shoot, for a few final images at sunset. I say we get sunsets like this maybe 10 days out of the year in Chicago—the light was just so incredible, warm and magical and made for one of my favourite sessions in recent memory!

Suzanne + Matt
- Posted on:
- 31 August 2011
Suzanne and Matt met in Oklahoma over a decade ago, now live in Chicago, and are having a huge celebration in Southern California this fall. Before jetting off for sunny LA they wanted to do some pictures here to capture the city they spend their time in. Suzanne and one of my favourite past clients, Julie, went to school together and are great friends, so I was so excited to meet them on the day of shoot. They did not disappoint! Such great energy and I think Suzanne is just so gorgeous—what a smile. :) Congratulations to both of you! Have a marvelous wedding!

Cassidy + Adam :: Evanston Session
- Posted on:
- 24 August 2011
Cassidy and Adam met at Northwestern, so for their session, they decided to take me on a little recreation of the night they first met, which was full of many humorous moments and stories! I had a great time with the two of them, running around to the diveiest of dive bars, searching for the knoll at Northwestern where they went afterward, and stopping at the rose garden where Cassidy’s parents celebrated their own wedding years ago. Despite living in Chicago for so long, this was unbelievably the first time I have shot in Evanston! They are getting married next weekend (can’t believe it!) at one of my favourite venues, the Modern Wing, and I cannot wait to share photos from what I am sure will be an amazing day!
